The University of Vermont confirmed Sunday afternoon that a male student died at the Redstone Lofts apartments early Sunday.

No foul play is suspected, UVM Spokesman Enrique Corredera said.

James (Jamie) B. Love was a 20-year-old engineering student from New York state, Corredera said.

Corredera said Love was found in his room by suite mates in the Redstone Lofts, an off-campus apartment complex populated almost entirely by students.

“They got concerned they could not wake him up, so they called 911, and police later confirmed that he had passed away,” Corredera said.

The cause of Love’s death was unknown as of late Sunday afternoon.

“We just don’t know yet. The investigation so far has not pointed to any suspicious activity or foul play,” Corredera said.

“It’s an unfortunately sad day for our university community and we extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends, and we stand with them on what must be an incredibly painful and difficult day for them,” Corredera said.

An informal community gathering in remembrance of Love will be held on Wednesday in the Billings 1st floor North Lounge at noon, according to a press release from the university.
